She is one of a handful of Master Certified Demartini Method® facilitators in the world, she has recently climbed to base camp Everest, she has transformed a chronic disease she has had for more than 35 years and she knows how to embrace change and co-manifest the life she loves to have.

Towards the end of 2014 she sold her 13-year old business property, moth-balled the business to enable her to explore mastery of life even more.

She believes that life starts at the end of your comfort zone.

Ilze has overcome many big challenges in her life, from divorce from her first husband (the father of her children), death of her second husband, chronic disease to business failures and successes. She says there is not much she has not experienced yet and she perceives her life experiences as her biggest teachers and opportunities in her attempt to learn to live a masterful, powerful, inspiring and beautiful life. She calls herself a student of life and has deep love for learning about human behaviour and assisting others and herself in applying the most successful approaches and tools in mastery of life.
